We have a full week next week! Winter break will begin December 23rd-January 3rd. Returning to school on Monday the 6th.
It has been a great first half of the school year, thank you for sharing your children with us everyday. They are each amazing in their own special way. You should be very proud.
I hope that you all have a safe and relaxing break.

UPCOMING EVENTS
Things to Keep in Mind
1. Cold Weather
Cold weather has arrived! Please be sure to send your child with appropriate clothing. Lincoln students play outside every day except extreme weather.
2. Illness
Please be sure to keep your child home if they are experiencing fever, vomiting or diarrhea. We ask that children stay home until they are symptom-free for a full 24 hours without medication. For more information please see the student handbook link listed below.
3. Dress Code
Good hygiene and appropriate dress and grooming are important in creating a
positive school environment. Help your child dress appropriately by avoiding:
● Beachwear, short skirts and shorts, tight clothing without proper coverage,
clothing that exposes undergarments, shoulders and/or midsection
(longer-length shorts/skirts are acceptable)
● Outerwear, such as coats and hats, worn as indoor attire
● Clothing that is tattered or indecent bears derogatory or disrespectful lettering
or symbols or is designed to promote illegal substances or activities
● Inappropriate footwear – footwear should be age-appropriate, comfortable, safe
and suitable for indoor or outdoor play. Flip flops are not safe for outdoor play
4. Electronics
Students who bring electronic devices to school may do so if they are silenced, not used and/or out of their backpack during the school day. Public Schools of Petoskey is not responsible for loss or damage of such devices. For more information, please see the student handbook link below.
5. Toys
No toys should come to school with students unless their teacher approves them. They could be lost, broken, or a distraction to learning. Thank you!
